TRIAL ONE

TRIAL

Once the various investigations have concluded, and the majority of the evidence has been dropped off with Makima and the ducks -- said ducks will scatter to start shepherding any travelers along to JojaMart, for some reason! Those already at JojaMart have a little less walking to do. Meantime, Makima has loaded the evidence onto the daycare wagon -- carefully packaged, because who wants a spill here -- and driven it off after the ducks.

There is, in fact, a back entrance to the JojaMart -- almost like a loading bay, but once it's opened and the wagon has been driven in, you can see that there's a small podium there along with a number of chairs and small tables. It looks like extra pieces used in either the Community Center or other areas around town may be stored here. The ceiling is tall and it's roomy, there's a scant few windows, but the white LED ceiling lighting and rather bare interior is only livened up by some larger spare whiteboards, extra shelving containing tools and knickknacks and a plant or two.

Once everyone is in -- Adela, Makima, a number of assistant ducks and the current inhabitants of the village -- the loading bay door is tugged closed by some enterprising assistants. There's a small door that probably leads into the front of JojaMart, but that's it. One of the ducks sets about serving tea in the slightly gloomy atmosphere.

You're welcome to examine the evidence in the wagon, discuss amongst yourselves, and figure out whodunnit in these first murders.

(( OOC: Welcome to your first trial! You'll have 7 hours (until 8 PM EST/5 PM PST) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. As this is scapegoat style, a correct vote is not necessary. Please remember to vote unless otherwise discussed with the mods, as that is our AC for this game. ))

Yes, White-san?

[theotherww]

You--this whole time, you were just. In plain sight, acting like a naive little child--you are a child, how could you possibly be capable of this and enjoy it?! You goddamn--

[Walter opens and closes his mouth a few times to try and gather the proper words for how insane and unbelievable the thought of a child committing a gruesome murder, something only an adult should be capable of conceiving. And--

No, this kid didn't fool him! Clearly the kid was dodging his observations to avoid detection!]

I just can't believe you were actually stupid enough to believe you could grow a fruit to go home!

[aurevoirx2]

Or what? Stay here for the rest of our lives? [ He tilts his head. ] Monsters hide in plain sight, you know. How many others monsters in your daily life do you know that you just let go their way, White-san?

[theotherww]

[How many monsters does he just let go on their way? What a stupid question to ask him of all people. Just ask the men who encroached on his territory. Just ask the man who threatened to kill his children. Just ask the men who tried to threaten him with spilling to the cops.]

You have no idea who you're talking to, you little shit.

[aurevoirx2]

[ He just giggles quietly in amusement. That's enough confirmation for him that he doesn't know either. ]

I don't know who you are, after all, White-san.
